“ While we each work to master and appropriately present the lessons and activities, Ms. Ward has demonstrated a commitment to utilizing as much of the resources available as possible. She adeptly plans the science units for our fifth-grade classes. Ms. Ward is enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the ins and outs of the Amplify Science curriculum. Ms. Ward makes careful, thoughtful decisions about the flow of each unit, the major work to be accomplished in each unit, the assessment opportunities that exist, and how to teach and consistently assess the concepts inherent in each unit. ”
